NUECES COUNTY, Texas The President and CEO of Visit Corpus Christi said there are ongoing talks to build a hotel that would connect to the American Bank Center.
Experts said that the City of Corpus Christi finally needs to build a hotel that connects to the ABC. The City has lost so much convention business to other cities around the state because they have a hotel connected to their convention center.
Four years ago, the city was looking at a $165 million expansion of the ABC which would include a 15 story hotel. However, the idea went nowhere.
SEA District in Corpus Christi isn't just hosting Buc Days this weekend. With everything planned, more people are making their way to the city, providing an economic lift not seen last year.
